The Directors give notice that they are prepared to receive applications for the new shares, the issue of which was autho rised by the Special General Meeting held on the 3d March instant, in order to enable the Company to perform the con tract recently entered into with the General Government of New Zealand, for a monthly mail service between Sydney, New Zealand. and Panama, in correspondence with the Royal (West India) Mail Company's steamers between Southampton and Aspinwall (Isthmus of Panama.. The Intereolonial Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was formed in 1858, under a contract to perform the mail service between the several provinces of New Zealand, and between that colony and Sydney, for whin they are at present in the receipt of subsidies amounting to upwards of £36,000 per annum. From the commencement of the Panama line, in May, 1865, the minimum subsidies payable to the Company for the oceanic and interprovincial services will amount to £96,0.0 per annum. The Royal Mail Steam-p ac k e t C ompany, and the Pacific Steam Navigation Company have agreed to enter into work ing ar rangements for through tr a ffi c, an d th e i r fl eets, w i th those of the three oth er s t eam l i nes, converging on the new route, will operate as "feeders" to this Company's ships. IVhen, therefore, it is considered that New Zealand is 2,00 Miles nearer to England, via Panama, than by the present overland route, and 4,000 miles nearer than by the Cape of Good Eope, and that the intended line will possess the advantage lat e conomy, both of time an d money, there can be no doubt a large portion of the existing passenger, lig ht g ht oods, and s pecie tra ffi c, will b e secure d by this Company. The nominal capital of the Company will, in the aggregate, be £562500, of which £4 12 ,500 will be paid up. The tie w shares will be entitled to dividend from the re- BPective times when the instalments fall due, and on pay ments in advance interest at the rate of spercent. per annum Will be allowed. The profits on existing lines are alone sufficient to pay a "rge dividend on the new as well as on the old shares. Detailed prospectuses, reports, and forms of application for a hgrea can be obtained at the offices of the Company, and of the brokers and solicitors.

This Company has been formed for the construction of a Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's), in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important towns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing Population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the number of visitors daring late years, call for the immediate introduction of railways. The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great; and its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield and avove average value ; whilst around the Coast there are extensive Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea. weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of land-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com paratively unavailable. Slate Quarries are in active operation; and the quality of the Slate is equal in closeness of grain and durability to any produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite near St. John's compares favourably with that now used in the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of railway facilities, become available for export. One of the proposed Stations on the line will be at St. John's, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which is also the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce of these mines is now brought by laud-carriage (there being no water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly ten miles, whilst Coals and oth er i m p or t an t ma t er i a l s, as well as all necessaries required by the inland population, are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held during the year in this district, must add considerably to the annual revenue of the Company. The principal towns are Douglas, Peel, Castletown, Ramsey, and Laxey : Douglas being the chief port, and the great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels; the place of destination tor the produce is Douglas ; the route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex pensive. The access to the Island is easy, and the means of com munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven, Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient. Bence, Tourists visit the Island in large numbers, above 100,000 pas sengers h av i ng been landed at its Ports during the past year, Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas to the inferior, and across the Island to Peel. The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the salubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The picturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap living, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex• pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so small as to render the Island most advantageous as a per. manent place of residence. Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of the Ports of Douglas and Peel. The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently established. The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidin thgs. The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and e gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula tion along it are most favourable to the project. From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with much care s by competent persons, and well supported by Official Returns, it is confidently ex p ec t e d th a t th e T ra ffi c w ill re turn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital, The fol lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic : Passengers, inclusive of Tourists £7,500 per annum, Goods, Minerals, Fish, & c 5,500 Parcels and Mails ,150 Working Expenses at ev en 50 per Cent. Ll3 6,500 Leaving for Dividend X6,660 Plans, Sections, &c., of the Line are completed, and all necessary forms are being complied with, in accordance with the St•: nding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an Act of the Local Parliament. Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island, and those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the value of Railway property in England and other countries, no less than to diminish the Shareholders' Dividends, can not, in • any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this Lino. An eminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase the land, make the Railway, provide and fit up all Stations, furnish Rolling Stock for working the Line, and Telegraphs, upon satisfactory terms. Interest at 5 per cent, per Annum will be allowed, until the opening of the Line, on the amount paid upon shares. An advantageous arrangement can be made with respon sible parties to Lease the Line for 7. 14, or 21 years. Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from the Secretary, Solicitors, or Brokers of the Company. MESSRS. BOTT, JACKSON, AND CO. ex ecute COMMISSIONS on all races through out the Year.

In Liverpool—The Washington Hotel. PROSPECTUS. Liverpool is the port through which the vast passenger traffic which exists between this country, America, the West Indies, and Canada passes. It is obvious, therefore, that first-rate Hotel accommoda- tion is not only desirable; but absolutely necessary; and to supply that requirement the Washington Hotel was built within the last two years. It has been designed and fitted no on the model of the great American and Continental Hotels, replete with all the comfort, convenience, and luxury which modern taste can suggest. The Hotel is situate in Lime-street, opposite the principal railway terminus, on one of the finest sites in the town. It contains about 200 rooms, furnished in the best style. Under the Hotel have been formed ice wells, capable of storing about 3,000 tons of ice. These are the only public ice wells in Liverpool, and from their position can supply the whole town. The Company has arranged to purchase the lease of the Washington Hotel, together with the goodwill, stock in trade, furniture, and fittings. The ice wells, which are included In the purchase, are now full, and from that source alone the Directors expect that a dividend of 5 per cent. on the capital will be realised. It is intended that the establishment in LiverpoOl shall be the principal Hotel, and that it shall co-operate with other existing hotels in London, Manchester, and other la-ge towns in the United Kingdom, and also in America. As the Hotel is now in full operation, and making large returns, the delay occasioned by the erection of premises, and acquiring a business, will be avoided. The Company will take immediate possession of the pre mises, and enter at once upon the business, oonsequently re turns will be made forthwith, and the Directors believe that they are not over-estimating the profits when they anticipate large dividends for the shareholders. There will be no promotion money, and the preliminary expenses will be restricted to the amount actually incurred. If no allotment be made to an applicant, the deposit wi . I be returned in full ; and if a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the balance of such deposit will be cre dited towards the payment on allotment. Plans of the property may be seen at the Offices of the Com pany, and also at the Brokers, where Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be had.

Notwithstan , iirg the fa• ilities afforded for the formation of joint-stock companies by the application of limited liability, many of our lane shipping towns are still without any im proved means of effecting marine insurance. The vast increase of shipping entering and leaving the various provincial ports of the United Kingdom renders it very desirable that the inconveniences of the present system adpted in such ports for effecting Marine insurances should be obviated, and the same facilities for insuring afforded as can be obtained in the metropolis. The Head Office of this Company will be in London, but its operations will comprise such towns as Liverpool, Bristol, Gloucester, Cardiff, Leith, Sunderland, Newcastle, and Hull, whose commPrcial importance affords a large and profitable field or Marine Insurance, and from the promises of support which have already been rece•ved the Directors entertain the greatest confidence in the success of the undertaking. A reference to the following stet sties will show ttie great success which has attended undertakings of t his description when properly conducted, as well as the estimation in which their shares are held by the public, notwithstatriing the field of operations open to them is far more limited than that zon templated by this Company:— Per share paid.

An arrangement will be made with an underwriter of high standing to conduct the London business, whose connection and influence will at once become available to this Company.

While Exchange Bankiianddreiiiiinstitui ion s have been established to connect this country financially with almost every foreign market, and to give fact ities for conveying to our shores every description of merchaudi e, it is remarkable that as soon as the operation of importing is performed the monetary facilities are withdrawn The bills drawn upon our merchants mature, and must either be -net by the mer chant's capital unaided, or by sales. Thus, when tempo rariy there is an excess of any commodity imported, its price is undo y depressed, and s rioui losses are incurrei. Ordinary bankers and discount houses dislike making ad vances upon merchandise, having no organisation for exa mining the goods and correct y estimating their value. What they want are good bills, drawn on those who, know ing the value, have accepted for a fair advance. Division of labour is here as elsewhere found to be most convenient and profitable. . _ To meet this want, which every merchant must acknow ledge, the Warrant Bank ng Company is formed. The bu i ness of the Company will mainly 'consist in making dv inces upon deposit of the staple articles of produce, represented by dock warrants or other means of absolute assignment, duly inspected and valued on behalf of the Company, and with a proper margin to allow for depreciation. These advances will be made in a ceptances by the Com p ny of the drafts of its customers, and as every bill will re present mer handise readily convert ble, and b, at the same time secured by the whole ca ital of a powerinl Company, the exact position of which will be patent to al , there can be no doubt that the whole Dis ount Market wil I be availablewhen it is desired by the holder to turn the bill into cosh. It will be readily apparent that the existence of such an institution, while it will be of great service to merchants, and increase the stability of the entire class, will be an equal con venience to bankers and discount firms, furnishing them with a class of bills ra - ely obtainable. In order to render the due payment of the Company's acceptances certain, the Directors undertake that the entire paid-up capital of the Company will be invested, and, sofar as practicable, remain invested in British and East Indian Government securities, and upon deposit at call, and it is proposed that the capital thus paid up and invested within the first year shall reach the sum of at least .£200,f Oft The field which exists for such an undertaking will be at once apparent from a glance at the Board of Trade returns of foreign impor s for the past year, which amounted (not to speak of home produce) to over £200,(00,000. If we estimate the average stock of foreign goods held in warehouse, as equal to three months' consumption, it would represent an amount of £50,000,000. Advances mit) , also be made when deemed advisable urion Stocks and Shares, in permanent undertakings readily con vertible. A re sonable proportion will always be maintained be tween the extent of business undertaken a , cl the calved-up capital. Should it be necessary, the latter will be increased to one million sterling, to be invested as already indicated, simply as a guarantee fund. Branches will, in due time, be established at Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, 43; 4 7. &c. Tae Directors will not rec^ive any remuneration until the shareholders have been paid £5 per cent. by way of dividend on their paid-up capita. Atter payment of 5 per cent. the Directors will receive one-fifth of the nett profits. No promotion money will be paid for originating this un dertaking. The preliminary expenses will be confined to the necessary disbursements Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained of the brokers, bankers, solicitors, and at the tem porary offices of the Company, but no application for shares will be considered unless a deposit of £1 per share has been previou ly p id to the bankers of the Company. In the event of no a lotment being made the deposit will be returned without deduction, and should the number allotted be 1 ss than the number applied for, the payment in excess will be applied towards the balance of the deposit.

Although the system of joint-stock banking has been esta blished to meet the requirements of most departments of trade, it has not been introduced for the business of the Agricultural and Cattle-markets of the metropolis ; and though the papulation has doubled within the last twenty five years—and consequently the necessary q iantity of sup plies —yet the whole business, amounting to fifteen to tweni y millions per annum, is left in the hands of a few private firms. The Albion Bank is introduced to provide increased facilities for this trade, by establishing an office in the City, as well as at Smithfield and the Metropolitan Catt e-market ; and subsequently, shou'd it be found desirable, by opening branches in the agricultnral districts. The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business to be transacted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre ciated by a kno rwledge that the method in which deaiings are carried on at the Catrle-market constitutes the bank, the de po,itory of all the moneys passing from the buyer to the producer. The Directors have Entered into provisional arraneements by which the advantage of c ,mmencing upon an e,tabl shed connexion, under competent and experienc d management, will be secured to Shareholders frrm the cnnmence meat of business, by which they are warranted in expect ing that they wi 1 be enabled to de:lare a dividend during the first year. Should no al otment take plqe 3 the deposits will be returned in full. Should a less number of Shares be a 1 fitted th are applied for, the deposit w.ll be made available tow 4rds the p •yment on llottnent, and the ba ante, if any, returned to the aonlie .nt. Application for Shares may be addressed to the Bankers, Brokeri„or Directors of the Company, and to the Secret iry, at the 0111:e of the Company. Family Residence and Land. MR.

(From the Times Special Correspondent) PRUSSIAN HEAD QUARTERS, HADERSLEBEN, March 7. Much to the disgust of the army, and especially of the officers, to Vim this country offers few re sources for passing their time, inaction is still the order of the day ; but we hoar that a part of the heavy artillery required for the siege of Duppel has came up, so that there are hopes of something been done before long. There were changes of quarters yesterday, the troops that lay here having marched north-west, in the direction of the Jutland frontier —a move which gave rise to reports that Fredericia was shortly to be attacked. The change of place may have been merely from motives of convenience in the matter of quarters, or it may have been con sidered desirable to cover that part of the frontier whence the troops had marched which lately lay there. To replace the departed we have now in Hadersieben the Gondrecourt brigade, which fought and distinguished itself in the principal action of this campaign, the fight at Oberselk. My last letter from Kolding was written under pressure of the post, and contained no mention of the ceremony which occurred the same day at Wonsild, a small village two miles on this side of that town. Early in the forenoon seven battalions of the Guard, three squadrons of hussars, the Bran denburg Cuirassiers, and three batteries of artillery (all Prussians) formed a square in a field near the road. Into this square rode the Crown Prince, who then dismounted and proceeded to the distribution o f ta i:e medals which the King has bestowed upon soldiers Fc. ho have found opport un iti es o f distinc tion in this cu: 12 1 3 aign. As you know, the Pros sians have not y 0 had much to d o , a nd the number of the decorated could not be very nu merous. Twenty medals we're to have been given, but one of the intended recipients died the day be fore, and five were in hospital with wounds. On the breast of each one of the other 14 _Prince Wil liam fastened the medal, then shook the newly decorated man by the hada, and rejoiced him with words of praise and kindness. He then remounted ; the troops closed in, and he spoke ict them as foi- I lows : " Comrades I—llis Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to bestow marks of honour upon several among you, and I feel particular pleasure at being able to celebrate this day with you. It is true that what you have done has as yet been but little, but already you have had opportunities of showing that the old Prussian soldierly spirit inspires you, and that you are worthy of the confidence placed in you by our military chief. In company with our old accustomed brothers in arms, our comrades of the Imperial Austrian atmy, we have now been for a month in presence of the enemy, and whatever may be in reserve for us, you will, I am certain, fulfil the expectations of the King, whose heart is ever with us." A soldier, eager and vigilant for opportunity of distinction, may, if fortune aids him, find them in a petty skirmish as well as in a great battle, and doubtless the medals given on Saturday were well deserved, but it is a delicate matter to address eulogiums to troops before the victory, lest with the intention only to encourage one should seem to overpraise_ The Crown Prince got over the diffi culty with his usual judgment and good taste. The few words he spoke were exactly waat the occasion required, and his praise of the good spirit that ani mates the Prussian troops was perfectly well merited. They have had a month of great hardship, which they have borne with the utmost cheerful ness, the only complaint heard from them being that they had so little to do in the way of fighting. The Prince concluded his short speech with a cheer for the King and the Emperor, and, turning to General GabLenz, the Austrian commander, who had ridden over from Hadersleben to witness the cere mony, he shook him by the hand. The troops then marched past, and the parade was over. Fair play is generally considered to be a particular characteristic of Englishmen, and, however Danish their sympathies may be, I wonder to see certain English journals accepting gross fabrications as truths, and making them the groundwork of unjust and insulting attacks upon the Austro-Prussian army now in Schleswig. As a general reply to such attacks I beg to state in the most positive manner that no cruelties or misconduct of any kind have been committed by either Prussians or Austrians. We do not see many English papers up here, but we do see a few, and now and then some kind friend sends a particularly abusive scrap to some officer whom he thinks it may annoy. So far as I have observed, the Prussians are comparatively spared, but the Austrians are set down as barba rians, plundering Croats, and bloody Pandours, going about, doubtless, with little children spitted on their bayonets. Ido not believe there are any Croats in the Austrian army corps now in Schles wig; but it matters very little whether there are or not, for if Croats there be they form no exception to the rule of good conduct that prevails among the troops under Marshal Wrangel's command. I be lieve that in no garrison town in England is there less disorderly conduct and less crime in proportion to numbers than there is on the part of the Geaman army now in Schleswig. I need not say that Ido not speak merely from my own observation, and that I do not take my accounts of the behaviour of the Military from the military themselves. I ask the inhabitants; especially those whose sympathies I have reason to think Danish, and others who have repeatedly had numbers of troops quartered upon them, and they all give the same account, and speak highly of the good behaviour of the men. It is the rarest thing possible to gee a drunken soldier. As to offences against property, I have heard ex tremely few alleged, and those of the most trifling description. The only well authenticated outrage that has come to my knowledge was committed by a Hungarian corporal and four soldiers, who de manded money from a peasant, and, as he had none, took his watch. Punishment followed quickly on the crime. The corporal was shot, and the men sentenced to terms of imprisonment. With such rigorous justice as this, there are not likely to be many infractions of discipline or injuries inflicted on the inhabitants. In no way do the Austrian troops merit the name of barbarians, which I saw lately applied to them in an English paper. They are as orderly and well behaved as any troops lever saw. I hear they have been taxed by the Danes with cruelties and atrocities, but I doubt if evidence could be adduced in support of such charges. What amount of quarter they may have given on the battle-field I know not; both at Oberselk and Oyer • see the bayonet was freely used, but in both com bats prisoners were taken, and in former letters I deposed to the kindness with which the Danes were treated, no difference whatever being made in t h e hospitals between them and wounded Austrians. At Oberselk Gen. Gondrecourt was near losing his life by the hand of a Danish prisoner. Th e man was wounded, a handkerchief had been given him to serve as a temporary bsndage, and none were paying further attention to him, when he took up a musket and fired it at the G en eral , who was withi n a f ew pacesof him. Fortunately, ne massed his ai m . Th e incident was related to me by an officer who wit nessed it. A number of German newspaper writers who had distributed themselves in the district occupied by the army received orders yesterday to depart within three days. It appears that there exists at Flens burg a regular committee, with the object of sup porting and furthering the cause of the Prince of Augnstenburg, and that in connexion with it a num ber of correspondents have been writing to German Just out, THE HAND BOOK OF ASTROLOGY.

Of the object of the move nobody knows anything, unless it be the Marshal .himself; but most people seem glad to get away flews this place. Of course, this move north wards ind aces people to think the army is going to penetrate into Jutland, perhaps to besiege Frederi cia ; but this is mere conje c ture, and on such matters you are likely to be informed at least es soon as we ate. I fear there will be great difficulty for quarters at Kolding and in that neighbourhood, for already out Saturday there was no room. Englishmen certainly manage to make their way about foreign countries in 'the teeth of difficulties which one would suppose insurmountable. Brack fasting the other morning in the coffee-room at Apenrade, I suddenly heard a voice say to the land lord, who was in the bar-room wi E th ng th li e sh do p o „ : open e between us, "Can you sp ea k words were spoken in English, and, f ew th oug h they were, a something in the accent brought to my memory pleasant days passed amid the green lanes of Devonshire. It so happened the landlord could speak English, as is the case with m any o f his class in this country, and he replied to some inquiries addressed to him by the strang er , who presently came into the room where I sat, and looked well pleased to find a countryman there. R e had just come from Denmark, he said. I ventured to suppose that byDenmark he meant North Schles wig or perhaps Kolding. Not a bit of it ; he came from the Island of Funen, whither he had been sent from England on business connected with a wreck that had there taken place. He had been at Funen the day before, had come across to Jutland, and then southwards through the Prussian lines. He of course had been speedily laid hold of by the out posts and conducted to an officer. But he could speak neither German nor Danish, and had no pass port. What could be done with such an inexplicable wanderer ? Had he spoken a little German it might have been his ruin, for he then would have been examined and probably detained for further investi gation and for the decision of the higher authorities. Ignorance in his case was decidedly bliss, as far as bliss can be considered compatible with night travel ling at this season in this part of the world. He had no papers, he could give no account of himself, but he was manifestly an Englishman, for besides that his external man testified pretty strongly to that fact, only Englishmen run themselves into such predicaments. He had had business in Fu nen, and wanted to get to England by way of Hamburg, and the shortest and quickest road was through Schleswig. It was no business of his if Greeks and Trojans, Danes and Germans, stood in arms against each other across the line of his pro gress ; their quisrrels were nothing to him, and he had learnt at school that a straight line is the shortest way from one point to another. So he walked into the embraces of a Prussian picket, and seemed to think it rather good fun than otherwise that ho had been marched for 20 miles between a couple of Dragoons, with drawn pistols, prepared to scatter the contents of his brainpan on the first sus picious sign. He did not consider that travelling in foreign countries with whose language he was to tally unacquainted was particularly inconvenient; and in this respect, considering his recent experie ence, I was really inclined to admit that he was not far wrong. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The ordinary weekly meeting of the members of the Metro politan Board of Works was held yesterday at their offices, Spring-gardens, Mr. J. Thwaiteq, the chairman, presiding. The cash statement showed that the cash balances in the hands of the treasurer wm—On current amounts, £106,815 18s. ; on deposit accounts, £82,800 ; and on Go vernment securities, £06 ; 732 Bs. 7d. STREET TRAMWAYS, A report was brought up from the Streets Committee on the subject of suburban tramway omnibus communication, which recommended that the board express no opinion relative to that question until the plan shall be laid beforo Parliament. The recommendation was ad )p'ed. PURCHASE OF LAND FROM THE BOARD OF WORKS. Mr. W. 'l'm, M.P., moved —" That the letter of Messrs. Bircham and Co., with a proposal for leasing and purchasing the plots of land remaining unsold in Southwark-street, and for purchasing all the plots in the new street from Black friars to the Mansion-house, be referred to the Streets Committee for consideration and report; and that the pro posers be allowed to attend the committee to explain in dotail the nature of their proposal." Ho said the company was composed of highly-respectable French capitalists, and their object was to purchase land in large quantities, and re-sell in smaller portions. Tho proposal had been before the Streets Committee and rejected, but he thought there would be an advantage gained in sending the matter back for reconsideration. Mr. FREEMAN said he could not understand why the motion was brought forward, because it had been xeferred to the Streets Committee and reported upon, and there was no reason why it should be referred back to them. The CHAIRMAN said there was a mistake on that ques tion. It was thought that the committee reported against it because they objected to selling the land wholesale instead of in lots; but that was not the reason the committee re ported against the proposal. The sole reason was, that the offer made for the land was totally insufficient, and there fore it had been rejected ; but if they were disposed to ad • vance on their offer the committee would entertain it. He thought the question might be referred to the committee. After some discussion as to the terms offered the motion was agreed to. TILE TIIAMES EMBANKMENT. The CHAIRMAN said the time had arrived when the Board must consider the subject of raising a loan for the Thames Embankment, and he thought the question was of such im portance that it ought to be considered in a committee of the whole Board. There were many questions they would have to discuss, and it was very desirable that they should con sider them in a committee of the whole Board, in the deci sion of which the Finance Committee and Thames Embank ment Committee would concur. He therefore suggested that the matter should be referred to the Thames Embank ment Committee (which is a committee of the whole Board) for consideration and report. The motion was formally moved and adopted. PROPOSED METROPOLITAN RAILWAYS. Tho Streets Committee brought up their report, submit ting the report of the engineer of his interview with the engineers of certain metropolitan railways, and recommend ing that he be instructed to attend the further conference of the engineers, with a view to the maintenance and protec tion of the works of the Board and other local bodies, and of the public interests generally. The adoption of the report having been moved and seconded, Mr, SAUNDERS moved as an amendment the following addition to his motion :—" But that it be distinctly under-. stood that his acts or demeanour shall not pled ge th e Board to any of the schemes proposed.: A long discussion ensued ,durmg which th e powers of the engineer were severely criticised, and on the amendment being put to the Board it was lost by a majority of 18 to 12. Mr. LEGGE then moved as an amendment, " And that such suggestions and acts of the engineer shall be admitted as approved of by the Board." He contended that as the Board would not agree to the amendment protecting it from being pledged by the acts of. the engineer, they could not refuse to being pledged by him. Mr. BociE seconded the amendment. Mr. FitEwsitor opposed it, and said they had rejected the words only because they were unnecessary. The amendment was then put and rejected, and the ori ginal motion was agreed to. The routine business was disposed of, and the Board ad journed, LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS FOR THE ENSUING WEEK.—Monday—Royal " Sculpture," Professor Westmacott ; Architects, at 8 Geographical, at 81, "Notes on Vancouver's Island," Dr. Forbes ; " Fraser and Peace Rivers and Gold Fields of British Columbia," by Lieutenant Palmer; Society of Arts, at 8, "Art applied to Industry—Furniture," Mr. Barges.
